Recently, their fears were realized as the House and Senate approved a bill that reduces base state aid for the current school year by $66 per pupil, and trims special education aid by 2 percent. The bill has gone to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who had recommended $22 in cuts per pupil. All told, the state’s 295 districts stand to lose almost $28 million in base state aid and $4 million in aid to special education; the Legislature hopes that cut will help offset the state deficit of $199 million for the fiscal year ending June 30. Here’s how much area districts will lose under the proposal: Baxter Springs: $110,257 Cherokee: $93,742 Columbus: $137,287 Frontenac: $92,486 Galena: $92,621 Girard: $118,699 Northeast: $76,764 Pittsburg: $290,456 Riverton: $101,783
